Liquid: When you move slowly the cornstarch particles have time to move away.]]> 2018-01-29 16:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kstocz/9fo6snbd423s/wish/225710123 https://padlet.com/kstocz/9fo6snbd423s/wish/225710208 when pressure is applied to the ooobleck the particles in the cornstarch clump together and when little to no pressure is applied the particles have time to move apart.]]> 2018-01-29 16:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kstocz/9fo6snbd423s/wish/225710208 https://padlet.com/kstocz/9fo6snbd423s/wish/225710220 Applying pressure to oobleck causes the oobleck to solidify because the polymers don't have time to move apart. When there is little to no pressure applied, it has time to move out of the way of the stimuli and become a liquid.

It will also increase its reaction time.
The particles in the cornstarch have enough time to move away when less pressure is applied but when there is a lot of force there is not enough time.]]> 2018-01-29 16:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kstocz/9fo6snbd423s/wish/225711845 cbranch4 https://padlet.com/kstocz/9fo6snbd423s/wish/225713515 Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid, meaning it is not a solid or liquid it acts like both. The way that it works is when pressure is applied to the oobleck, the atoms compact and form a solid. When it acts like a liquid, there is no pressure applied and the atoms are not compacted.]]> 2018-01-29 16:29:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kstocz/9fo6snbd423s/wish/225713515
